addr Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well I tried again. No go. Obviously the program is not going to load on my architecture. I have a question or two about things related. When I was installing there was never a question about CD4, so what is it for? Also why doesn't it say CD1, CD2,CD3. There was an option for adding the entire CD's to your hard drive. I didn't take it but there is no reason why I shouldn't since I have a tonnage of spare space. Depending on this I might have an fstab question which should be another thread, I guess. Here's what Ive got:- It doesn't look right to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) I managed to get stellarium going, in the 32 bit version on my 64 bit system. I added the i586 main and contrib sources via easyurpmi, where I opted to have the prefix 32_ for all new repositories, then disabled all regular 64 bit repositories in the gui (mcc - software - select from where ....). Then I deinstalled stellarium. When I tried to install the 32 bit version from the gui, it just didn't find it. So I did urpmi stellarium on the command line as root, and it proceeded to install the i586 versions: # urpmi stellarium To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed: libSDL1.2-1.2.11-3mdv2007.0.i586 libSDL_mixer1.2-1.2.7-1mdv2007.0.i586 libaa1-1.4.0-0.rc5.16mdv2007.0.i586 libdirectfb0.9_25-0.9.25.1-2mdk.i586 libggi2-2.1.1-3mdv2007.0.i586 libgii0-0.9.1-2mdk.i586 libgpm1-1.20.1-14mdk.i586 libslang1-1.4.9-8mdk.i586 libsysfs2-2.0.0-4mdk.i586 stellarium-0.8.1-2mdv2007.0.i586 Proceed with the installation of the 10 packages?

AussieJohn Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hello artee. Please have a look at my new thread regarding K3B. Do you think the 64 thingoes might be the problem??? in my case, and would perhaps your routine could be used here. When the computer was running 2006 all the rpms used were the usual i586 or whatever it was but not 64 stuff and everything worked aok. Cheers.

AussieJohn Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hello artee. You can dismiss my previous post question since that problem is now solved. Back to the Stellarium problem. While I was setting up my friends 64bit computer, I tried installing the latest 64bit Stellarium and it installed perfectly and ran aok. So the problem seems to be hardware influenced or hardware specific. Going to be a tough one I think. Cheers. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi John, thanks for the info, and good that you managed to fix the K3B problem. As for Stellarium, hmmm, what kind of 64 bit system did you install it on? Intel (EM64T) or AMD (AMD64)? It may also have to do with me running compiz and the 3d desktop.... Did you set that up on that other system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Hi ARTEE. It was an AMD64 3200-CPU about 9mths old on an nvidia based Gigabyte Mainboard.. Hope it helps. No Compiz and no 3D. Is not worth it at this stage, in my opinion. Too unstable and unreliable. I wont put it on mine for those reasons and definately not on someone elses machine that I help to keep up and running. John.

addr Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) I had a disaster with a two week old sata drive dying and have spent the last few days installing on dial up. Anyway with the same selections on easy urpmi I don't see stellarium. I also get an error message saying 'Impossible to run unknown Install program'! But then I downloaded Inkscape without a problem. Any ideas about this? Edit I wiped my selections and re-downloaded my mirrors using the control center but stellarium still doesn't show...everything else seems fine...my poor old dial up had about five hours of updates and a couple of small programs...no problems. Has stellarium been removed, perhaps? Doesn't matter, everything I need is working very well and I have another dumb question about partitioning which I will harass the hardware people with.

aRTee Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 (edited) John, I see your point - wouldn't put it on someone else's machine either. Works stable and nice for me though - and I get died in the wool windows and mac users saying it looks better than anything they've ever seen.... Now that is worth something to me... ;-) addr, it is really strange that you can't see stellarium - something must have gone wrong somewhere. But what if you try to download it and install it directly from a mirror? It should then propose to install all dependencies too...
